Little Girl Who Was Fined For Lemonade Stand Receives Dozen Of Job Offers

The little girl who was fined £150 by a London borough council for selling lemonade from a stall outside Lovebox Festival has received dozens of job offers to sell her drinks elsewhere.

Andre Spicer, the young entrepreneur’s father, wrote about how she had ‘burst into tears’ after enforcement officers ‘began reading from a big script explaining that she did not have a trading licence’.

Since the fine has been widely criticised online, the council have been forced to cancel the penalty.

But, as a two-finger salute to the Nanny State of Bureaucracy, other vendors, including London’s famous Borough Market, have offered the lemonade-seller trade elsewhere.

Borough Market tweeted the girl’s father in response to his story:

@andre_spicer in all seriousness, would your daughter like to sell some lemonade at Borough Market? We'd love to make that happen for her ?
